Leading dimensions
------------------

Many algorithms can be applied exactly the same to a variable even though it may have different dimension dependencies.
For instance, a density conversion can be the same algorithm for either `density {}`, `density {time}`,
`density {latitude,longitude}`, `density {time,vertical}`, etc.
The algorithm is just applied element-wise for each element in the dimensions that `density` depends on.
Such leading dimensions that can be handled element-wise are captured by a ':' in the variable reference in the
definitions below.
Any dimensions that are significant for the conversion (for instance, the `vertical` dimension when integrating a
vertical profile to a total column) will still be mentioned explicitly and will map to an index in the symbol used for
the quantity (e.g. :math:`\nu(:,i)`). If an algorithm has variables with a ':' in the dimension specification then the
algorithm will contain a description of which combination of dimensions are supported for ':'.
